Rejected by the Alpha, Chosen by Fate

Chapter 4

Seraphina pushed him away like his body was made of acid.

"That's insane!" She screamed and he immediately clapped his large fingers over her mouth, "shut it are you trying to get us caught?"

A shiver ran down the seraphina spine.

"Us?" She repeated after him, "Us? There is no us in this... I'm having no hand in your personal suicide mission,"

Damien's face hardened; "I've already told you my intentions, so whether you like it or not you are already an accomplice,"

"I'm not!" She tried to resist but there was no hope he was much stronger than her and pushed her to the bed like she weighed no more than the pillows on it.

"What are you planning to do?"He demanded to know, marching over, "I'm going ahead with this plan no matter what, if I succeed you're screwed and if not..." He crossed his hands wearing a wicked smirk, "well if I fail it's going to be much worse, I'm going to implicate you in every way possible and drag us both down together..." His smile was meeting his ears now, "And you know what my father does with traitors,"

Seraphinas's fingers curled up into trembling balls that spread across her entire body, tears pooled up in her eyes.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me?"

No matter what happened he was the Alpha's heir and she was an Omega rank with no backing, if both of them got involved in this crazy scheme it was crystal clear who was getting a slap on the wrist and the other who was getting a death sentence.

Yet here he was before her grinning with confidence, subconsciously aware that no matter how bad things got he would always come out of this hardly scattered while on the contrary for her entire world would be toppled over and completely destroyed.

So there was no running away for her, the seal her resolve he leaned closer folding one knee over the bed.

"Now we can both get what we want, and if revenge isn't enough motivation for you then how about this..." In a show of unfamiliar gentleness he cupped her cheek. "After this is over and my father passes away I'm going to make sure that you are in a position when nobody can ever stomp on you" he paused, as though deep in thoughts then continued like he had never stopped, "I'll make you Luna,"

The night before the deal the Young Omega made who had discovered her alpha blood was struggling all over but still herself just before she entered the alpha chamber.

"I heard you've been having some trouble sleeping so I thought I'd make you some tea," she said, forcing out the most natural smile she could manage.

Alpha Drakon smiled back at her; "I see you have accepted your fate,"his lips curved and the hairs on the back of her next to the uncanny resemblance it had with his son, like it had been plucked right off of his features and handed over to his heir.

"I believe whatever happens at the duel tomorrow will be the will of the Moon goddess," he said bringing the tree over to him and he thought he will get up from his chair he did but what he did next made her heart begin to race he went over to his bed and sitting down held up his finger signaling her to follow him.

In the mind link she told Damian what was happening.

"I think you want me to come close to him but he's sitting on his bed, I'm worried that he might..."

"Seraphina I shouldn't need to remind you that your mission has a time limit, if you have not worked out of his chamber in the next 20 minutes I will assume that you have betrayed me and immediately tell everyone that there is poison in the tea," he coldly threatened her, "you had your chance to have cold feet and it now it's over either you act or that's it for you,"

The lump formed in the young girl's throat but she pushed forward placing one foot in front of the other before she could pause and rethink everything.

She was carefully gritting her teeth, her blood boiling against Damian. He was making it seem like she had a choice, carrying at his plan in a way that its left only strings to her and not himself, she was smart enough to figure out that she was merely nothing but a pawn however like every helpless pawn means to protect the queen, she had no say on how she was going to be pushed around the chessboard.

But if by some chance... Some lucky twist of fate, this pawn became a Queen then...

.

"This tea looks nice," Alpha Drakon said, picking it without the smallest ounce of suspicion and for some reason it ticked her off, to say the absolute least.

He had openly admitted to separating her from her family and burning her pack to the ground yet he didn't feel like she was a threat, didn't think she could do anything to him and had his guard completely lowered.

However he didn't drink the tea immediately, first he pulled her by her waist closer then he told her what he was going to do with her on their first night after making her his concubine the more he spoke the harder it was for not to just ripped out his throat with a dagger he deserved it after everything he had brought her through but she bore all of it and his unwanted touch until he gulped down the tea.

Within herself she smiled knowing that the rest of his life was on a very short countdown, he wouldn't die immediately.

Damien swore that it was a slow poison that gradually ate away at a person's body and mind.

And also, there was no cure.
